We had a crazy yield of tomatoes of about 6 different types this year, so I’ve been trying to figure out ways to use the bounty! This is a delicious soup that you can also adapt to a pasta sauce. Note: you’ll need a hand blender or food processor Ingredients: A mix of different types…

I love that this is hearty, easy to make, and immensely satisfying. It works very well to make as a veggie main for a potluck and it’s easy to just use less or more of the ingredients as needed. What really makes this recipe, in my humble opinion, is the stock in the veggie mince…

I got really frustrated trying to find a recipe for a Lavender Earl Grey tea cake. After some Foogling (Facebook Googling, of course), I got some excellent advice from friends. In essence, you make a classic sponge cake but turn it into a tea cake by adding any tea flavour you like (that would make sense…

What is a Wellington, you may ask? In this context, it’s neither a Duke nor a boot, but a delicious savoury pie type dish, where you essentially wrap your filling in beautiful butter puff pastry. Although traditionally a Wellington is made with beef, I was able to make a vegetarian version by following my ever reliable and…

This is an excellent veggie side dish (could even be a main) for any feast and is a great variation of a run of the mill cauliflower bake with cheese sauce. This is almost as-is from a Jamie Oliver recipe I found when looking for vegetarian Christmas recipes, and it went really well with the…

You can vary it as you like in terms of the bread product, egg style, and any sides, but here’s my take (you’ll find the list of ingredients you’ll need for the whole shebang…

Everything I love – lavender, Earl Grey, vanilla PLUS easy to make – all in one tasty, shortbready biscuit. Yes please! Note: the dough needs to sit in the fridge for 1/2 an hour, so factor this in to your timing, but the prep and baking time is minimal. You’ll also need a food processor,…

This is one of those recipes that takes minimal effort and gives maximum results. To. Die. For. Just note that although it’s quick to make, you need to allow for 1-2 hours for setting in the fridge. Ingredients: 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (tip: I always use chocolate chips – they just seem to melt…

The great thing about this recipe – besides being very easy – is that you can use it as a side and then revamp it as a salad. It also only takes a few ingredients. Ingredients 1 x cauliflower (broken or cut up into small florets) 1 x box of quinoa (I used a quinoa…
